With seating for 2000, the cinema was a typical example of the period when talkies were first introduced. It was built in 1928, when this area was being developed by Manchester Corporation as a modern residential suburb. The Kingsway siffered fire damage in 1957 and never re-opened. It was later used as a store by its owners, the ABC cinema chain.
